What is Extended School?
Extended School is the collective term we use for the ‘out of school hours’ clubs that provide support by offering affordable childcare all year round.
These clubs include:
- Breakfast Club
- After School Club
After School Club
Play Leader – Mrs Susana Castro
Play Workers – Mrs Paula Farley & Miss Carla Hankinson
Our After School Club provides a secure, happy and stimulating environment where every child is nurtured, valued and supported. In line with our school’s mission and ethos, we aim to help children develop positive attitudes, essential skills and confidence through highâquality play and enrichment. We work closely with children, parents, carers and staff to ensure each session offers the very best care and a consistent, safe and welcoming experience.
Each day offers a varied programme of activities designed to help children relax, recharge and enjoy themselves after a busy day of learning. Our sessions include a balance of creative, active and childâled opportunities, ensuring that every afternoon feels fresh, engaging and purposeful. Children also enjoy a healthy snack, often helping to prepare it themselves, encouraging independence and life skills.

| Late Collection | It is very important that we respect each others time and it is essential for parents / carers to collect children on time.
In the first instance, there would be an expectation that the club is notified of your anticipated late arrival. If you are then late to collect your child / children, we will advise you that it is unacceptable and will remind the collecting adult that if they are late for a second time then unfortunately, a charge of ÂĢ1 per minute will be incurred. If there is a reoccurrence of a late collection, the collecting adult will be informed of the number of minutes that they are late and the late fee that is expected to be paid. The expectation is that the late fee will be paid prior to the club being accessed again. If this becomes a persistent issue, After School Club provision is likely to be withdrawn. |
